to & from
Most people drive. Its 8 hours from the Bay Area. If you want to break up the trip , we stayed in Klamath Falls, Oregon on the way up.
- There is an airport in Bend in case that is better for you family.
- A must see on the way up is Crater Lake. It is beautiful. Crater Lake Lodge books up fast and would be a great place to stay to break up the drive to Sun River.
Where to Stay
VRBO is the way to go. Most homes are second homes and rent most of the year. You can get everything from a small condo to a large estate for multiple families. We went just our immediate family but we met lots of people there with either extended family or big groups of friends in one home. We stayed in the Tennis Village area. We loved that it was close to the gym/spa as well as a 5 minute bike ride to the Village or a 10 min ride to SHARC.
If hotels are more your thing, Sunriver Resort looks nice.
- Make sure your home comes with SHARC passes. These will get you into the water park (SHARC) at Sun River for free.
- It can get really hot in August so I recommend getting a place withAC.
- Most homes come with bikes and locks so you don't have to worry about bringing your own.
